What Are the Environmental Impacts of Agrochemicals?
Agrochemicals can have significant environmental impacts, affecting biodiversity, soil health, and water quality. Runoff can lead to the contamination of water bodies, affecting aquatic life and disrupting ecosystems. Soil contamination can alter the microbial communities essential for nutrient cycling. Moreover, the non-target effects of fungicides and insecticides can reduce populations of beneficial organisms such as pollinators.
